Jerry DrfscOil has Nothing to
Ecar.

The San Francisco papers allege
that Mr.. Jerry Driscoll fed from that
city to avoid certain unpleasant inter-
views which might have been thrust
upon him in the "Little Pete" busi-
mess. These reports reached here
yesterday, and Mr.. Driscoll took the
first train leaving here for the Bay
City in order personally to refute all
such calumnious outgivings, Mr..
Driscoll's friends assert with positive
emphasis that he has no connection
near or remote with the Little Pete
business. He will confront the SIAN
der face to face. and return here by
train next Tuesday. AS he was here
on business the false report gives him
no little annoyance.

Located.

Edward M. Wood, the postal clerk,
who has been missing since Saturday
asst, was heard from yesterday. His
brother, the Secretary Of the Temple
street Railway, received letter from
f. M. Woods wife in Alameda saying
he had arrived there Sunday in a
somewhat demented condition. The
overwork here at the Postoffice evil
IDENTIFY did not agree with him as he
was not used to confining work, and
the overstrain somew hat unbalanced
his mind. He left Alameda Tuesday
for San Francisco ostensibly to buy
horses. His uncle and brother up
there will look after him and see that
he has proper treatment.

LAST NIGHTS BLAZE.
A Hay Harm Burns ON Los Ang,
les Street.

les Street. ... ~ rs.
Last night about IL o'clock fire
started in the hay-grain warehouse or
the corner Of Los Angeles and Mayo
streets, opposite the New Natick
House. The land belongs to ex-
Mayor Thoum and was leased by s. G.
Sloone, who built frame storehouse
on it with corrugated iron roof. He
used the forward part for a general
storage and commission business,
while the rear part was rented to A..
A. MesehendoA, who recently bougl t
out H. Saunders feed store under the
Stevenson House, and it was used by
him for the storage of hay and grain.
The building was 100x100 feet, occu-
pying the southwest corner OF the
street. The forward part was used for
storage of buggies and household
goods, some of the boarders at the
New Natick having their furniture
slowed within.
The alarm was turned in at IL As
from the New Natick house by the
clerk in charge, James Hirshoff, who
was on the stoop with several of the
guests, directly opposite the fire. The
fire must have started in the centre of
the building, as it broke out on all sides
simultaneously. The fire department
put in an appearance aboutten minutes
after the alarm was turned in and
soon had several streams Of water on
the blaze. For a few moments it
seemed as though the neighboring
house would 90, but the fremen soon
had it under control and fifteen min
utes later nothing but thick smoke
could be seen arising from the charred
ruins. The loss is estimated at be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000. A man who
was sleeping in the storage house is
to have got out just in time,
but nothing could be seen of him.
The fire burned briskly for about fif-
teen minutes, gatheringlarge crowds of
people to the spot. This is the first
fire for the new chief and he handled |
it with great care, having the ham,s
subdued in q short time.

Australian Trees.

The State Board of Forestry has re-
csived from South Australia some
seeds of Eucalyptus trees specially
collected for it.
The varieties of Eucalyptus are the
E corynocalyx or Sugar Gum and the
E viminalist or Manua Gum, These
trees are easily transplanted and will
relieve the monotony of the Blue Gum

lyx is particularly adapted to locations

A COMING RAILWAY CENTER
NIOnr0via Forging to the Front
In This Regard.


Some of the country exchanges
which reach this Office furnish the
following interesting news regarding
important railroad movements center
ing in Monrovia:
It becomes moro evident with every
passing day that Monrovia is to be-
come an important railroad center,
and consequently one of the leading
towns in the valley. A number OF
capitalists are interested in project
to build a railroad from there to Ana
helm. and some of the preliminary
work toward that end has already
been done. 1t is worthy project and
will doubtless be carried to compile
ton. All the necessary forInalities in
regard to the building of the San Ga
briel Valley Rapid Transit Railway
have been finished and work on the
same will be commenced in a few
days. This will give our neighboring
city rapid and easy route to Los An
geles and one with cheap fare and the
absence of the dust and smoke Incl
dent to ordinary railway travel.
But the latest move is to extend the
Altadena road east to that place.
Messrs. w. N. Monroe, ]. G. Crank
and H, A. Unruh are now at work to
secure the right-of-way, and have
been 80 far successful that it has been
obtained over the entire route, except
the land belonging to one or two par
ties. and as soon as the right'of-way
for the entire route is gained, the
work of construction will be COM
menced and rapidly pushed. The line
ia to run north of Mr.. Crank's home,
and through Huntington and Sierra
Madre to near the center Of Monrovia.
This will make that town the terminal
point of the Electric and Altadena
roads and probably of the Anaheim
dine. besides being on the through
route of the California Central, all o.
which means rapid growth and al
important future for Monrovla.
Such fair fate has not been thrus'
upon that coming city. but is the re-
suit of the unselfsh enterprise OF hel
public-spirited citizens who are tire
less in their effort to upbuild theil
town. And of these none have worked
harder than w. N. Monroe. He ha'
given great portion of his time TO
the last month in working to secur'
the Alta1ana.t
A number Of capitalists are nov
quietly at work to secure the right
of-way for railroad direct from Mon
royis to Anaheim. The proposet
route will cross the Southern Pacifi'
al Anaheim and pass through the
great Rowland ranch near the oil re
9ion, which it is proposed to develol
to the fullest capacity. The grade j
said to be very easy one, and tn
line will connect with the Californi
Central at the depot in this city, Civ
ing shorter and more convenien
road from Anaheim to Los Angelo
than can be had by any other route
The parties interested in the matte
are some of the wealthiest and mos
energetic in this county and there
every probability that the road vii
be b,iil.. Score another point 10
Monrovia and another importont ste
in the rapid growth of our city.

The Board of Education find they hav
difficult problems to solve in determinfhi
, how they can provide rooms for all tn
children who should attend school and pa!
salaries to more teachers.
The Board of Supervisors and the Council
have done all they could to aid the Board o
Education In securing the funds needed fo
more school houses, more furniture, more
teachers and more education, but the sup
plies are not equal to the demands.
The people of the City of Los Angeles, with
a vote nearly unanimous (only nineteen
noes), voted to issue $l5OOOO in bonds u,
provide funds for new school houses, and
still the children will need more room TO
sec Ire the education that the people wish to
give them.
1ne board of Education now own Let
50 feet on the southern side of Los Angeles
Street by $50 feet on the western side If
Los Angeles street, and an adjoining lot of
5I7O feet on the western line Of Los Angeles
Street by 7S feet in depth.
The purchase by the United States of the
| site at the corner of Fourth and Winston
streets, for the new Government Building,
the construction of the johnson Block,
tne four story brick building at the cor
ner of Fourth and Main streets, and the
other Improvements in the immediate vi
cinity have increased the value Of the
school property at the corner of Fourth
and Los Angeles streets to an extent that
the Board consider it is desirable TO sell
the property and with the proceeds pur-
chase Il site large enough for an eight-room
building to accommodate the children
east of Main street between Second and
TIE lth streets.
The subdivision of large tracts between
Alameda and San Pedro streets will bring |
population in that portion of the city that /
will need such u school building for their |
children.
Recognizing these facts that control the sit
uation in educational business, the Board Of /
Education have decided to sell the property /
on Fourth and Los Angeles streets and use
the proceeds toward the purchase of larger /
site and the erection of a larger building /
than could be constructed on the present site.
An opportunity to purchase choice busi-
ness property within three hundred to five
hundred feet of the site for the new Post
Office and the Johnson Block has not here
tofore been presented to the people Los An
geles, and probably will not be again in the
auction room.
The Board has authorized Briefly & /
James, real estate agents, at 121 South
Main street, to offer the property for sale,
and the agents have made arrangements to /
offer it in five subdivisions, at the salesroOm
of the Southern California Land Company,
